Information Barbara N. would like to know about your pet

From ensuring anxious pet parents receive daily updates and photos to accommodating special requests for their furry companions, My dedication to providing peace of mind shines through. By offering a personalized approach and open communication, I create a trusting relationship with dog parents, making them feel confident and secure when leaving their beloved pups in my care. My commitment to meeting both the dogs' and their parents' needs sets me apart as a caring and reliable pet caregiver.

A typical day

From greeting wagging tails in the morning to tucking sleepy pups in at night, a day with me is a whirlwind of furry fun! As a dedicated pet care provider, I start the day with belly rubs and breakfast, ensuring each pup feels at home. Throughout the day, I manage playtime, walks, and cuddles, catering to the unique needs of senior dogs, those in heat, big dogs, and little ones alike.

Pet care experience

From watching dogs since I was about eight years old to caring for senior dogs, dogs in heat, big dogs, and small dogs. And now also being able to share this experience with my dog loving daughter has been such a blessing and even helps us bond. My pet care experience is truly diverse and extensive. My passion and dedication shine through in the way I try to provide love and attention to all pups, making sure their tails wag with joy and comfort. My journey in pet care reflects a deep understanding of dogs' needs and a commitment to their well-being, creating a safe and happy environment for every furry friend I welcome into my care.

Barb is a great dog sitter. She is very accommodating and responsive. My pets loved being with her family and she was sure to send pics and updates every day. I will definitely be using her again for day care and overnight stays.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
